Spring, she whispers, “remember to hold hope and expectation, for the beauty that is to come.”
Spring extends an invitation to hold on to hope as we wait for the beauty yet to come. It invites us to linger just a little longer, considering the world with all five senses fully engaged. Getting outside, enjoying nature, and tending to our winter-neglected yards just feels like what you are meant to do in Spring.
Change is coming. Can you feel the cold of winter in the air, mingling with the warmth of the sun on your skin?
Watch as the first bulbs push through the ground and begin to bloom beauty. Listen carefully as the birds’ song grows louder. Smell the freshness of Spring after the rain. Feel the damp earth between your fingers as you find your way into the garden, tasting the freshness of Spring’s early lettuce.

From My Etsy Store:
I’ve discovered amazing companies I love to support from friends, so I thought I would share a few of my Favorite Places to Shop to help our environment, support fair trade or help a good cause.
We love shopping at Grove for all our home cleaning essentials.
Sela Designs is my favorite place to shop for jewelry and gift twice. I can purchase a gift for a friend, knowing my purchase is helping support amazing causes around the world.
As a non-shopper ThredUp has become my favorite way to shop consignment. Good for my pocketbook and our earth.
Mercy House Global is a great place to find fair trade products empowering women all over the world. And if you are a non-shopper and love beautiful handcrafted items, Ann Voskamp partners with Mercy House Global to send out a quarterly Grace Case.
